I'm currently with UTV (well for next few weeks until I move to Kilworth (arghhhh)); and I've found the most frustrating thing with that same modem is that when it gets warm, it stops working right. I have had the luck of borrowing (temporarily, sadly) a friend's personal adsl modem for a few nights, and found a dramatic change in performance. Might be coincidence though; but highly visible issue when you're mid-game and get disconnected 4 times in the space of 10 minutes
